After logging into WattPad after a year of inactivity I see this notification. Omg. So basically SRS is an audiobook now 👀🤯

How have you been? ❤️❤️
Sorry I didn't respond to this for months. I wasn't ready to comment on that. There's no words really and I don't even like talking about how I am anymore after almost two years of feeling intense grief endlessly and trauma too. I am tired. Exhausted. My husband dying from drug overdose and his sickness leading up to that did a lot of things to my physical and mental health. I've had all sorts of issues stemming from the grief and the other losses that stem from a big loss (friendships, family, my stepkids, career impacts, future hopes and dreams - so much changed or disappeared). I've learned a LOT and understand loss/pain differently than before. I am planning to write a memoir about my experience, when I am able. I've been stuck in "freeze" mode for awhile. Just surviving. However, I do have some good news: I met a wonderful man almost 6 months ago and am grateful for the love that has grown between us and all the gentle, healing energy he brings to my life. I knew that if I wanted to have a significant relationship in my life again (I did, I am only 38!), it would be hard and only someone VERY VERY special would be a good fit for me in this new era of life. Chris is every bit an angel, and I cry for happiness now, not just sadness. My health is slowly improving and I am so proud of myself for how I've navigated this overall. It truly almost killed me in the beginning. I will continue to heal and explore my soul, hoping I can help others in the process somehow. So basically, I'm still alive, still healing, still fucked up, grateful for what I have, devastated for what I lost, and just trying to make it one day at a time. Sending love to anyone reading this! Stay strong and find something in your day that makes you smile today for Will, who isn't here anymore. XOXO

Hey, I know you're not super active but out of curiosity, if you're comfortable sharing, what are you studying in grad school? Hope you're doing well and healing btw <3
I've had to withdraw for now but I'm pursuing a career in mental health counseling <3 thank you, I am!
11 years ago, SRS was first published. And on the anniversary of the story I finally tried Alex's favorite gas station snack. They're SOOOO sweet. lol. Quick life update: I'm in grad school, crossed the 1 year death anniversary of my husband, and am working 2 jobs to keep everything afloat. Life is hard, but I am grateful I've made it this far and I'm doing everything I can to fix my life, heal, and stand in the sun again someday. <3 Thanks for loving SRS everyone. I still get comments, kudos, and likes on the story pretty much daily and I am really glad to know somewhere someone is enjoying what I wrote. Take very good care everyone... you deserve it, you really do!

I had some fun, big plans for celebrating SRS's upcoming 10-year anniversary - but life this year went so haywire, and with my husband's death, everything has ground to a halt. However! I wanted to put this out there anyway, and hopefully fans can come up with submissions to celebrate this next month so that we still have a commemorative moment to celebrate this epic, wild story. It will really make me happy and remind me of all the good things I've done and have yet to do.
December 28th and sooner: Send in your design for a book cover of SRS! Dimensions should be 2:3 or 512 x 800 pixels. The winner will get their image put onto FF.net for the whole month of January to celebrate ten years of Calex and Alex! All entries will be celebrated in a commemorative post. Feel free to use any and all manips by me in your designs. It doesn't have to be good, it just has to be made with love <3 you can submit the designs via the submission form, or straight to my email: sidewalkmuse at gmail. Love you all!
Here's our submission from Isabel R. - thank you for submitting a cover for the 10 year anniversary! Seeing as we only got one entry, you've won by default (the cover on FFnet and Wattpad has been changed!), but I have to say I really do love it and thank you! This cover will be attached to the story for the rest of January. xoxo
Me: The fanfic Is completed AND has a happy ending what more could I want
Also me: If I don't get more of Calex I'm gonna lose my mind

You should manip Astrid into the cast CHRISTMAS photo. It would be perfection.

Could we maybe have some more calex Christmas feels of some kind please? And Merry Christmas xx
Here goes nothing!
Imagine Cas experiencing his first snowfall as a human. Beside him, Alex laughs and sticks her tongue out to catch flakes. Sam and Dean scrape enough snow off of surfaces to make pitiful snowballs. Kevin complains about how much he hates the snow. Alex catches Cas by the hands and kisses him.
Imagine them sharing hot chocolate as Cas offers his opinions on Christmas carols. Castiel loves tacky Christmas sweaters and doesn’t know why everyone else says they are so bad. To humor him they all wear tacky Christmas sweaters on Christmas Eve.
Imagine Cas trying to find Alex the perfect Christmas gift and stressing out because the commercials on TV say women want diamonds and perfumes and expensive dresses. He decides to give her a telescope because he knows how much she loves to stargaze. When he gives it to her she looks touched and chokes up, tells him it’s the best thing she’s ever gotten.

Watching JamesDean IRL makes me very, very happy.
Hi River, how are you? I hope you’re doing well 💛
I was so excited to see your submission post for the 10th year anniversary of Song Remains the Same. I first read the story about a month ago and my life hasn’t been the same since! I reread it in all my free time, I can’t get enough. Nothing compares to the literary masterpiece that is SRS.
I’m currently working on my submission, it’s been a long time since I’ve done anything artsy and creative! My skills are outdated and subpar so I’m gonna apologize in advanced 🥲
I saw this picture yesterday and it just didn’t sit right with me. So I fixed it. It’s more accurate now in my opinion.
(Also very happy to share that for the past weeks I’ve been trying to transition all my meals to plant based! There’s a lot of trial and error still but it’s been so fun trying new recipes and making some simple substitutes to make for healthier and in my opinion more delicious meals! Currently trying to tackle how to make vegan crab ragoons cause those are my fav ❤️)
Thank you @chapters0fbel <3 I'm not that good right now but things can't be like this forever. I am really humbled and happy you liked SRS that much and can't wait to see your submission. Goodness doesn't matter - the heart and love of it all does :) thanks for fixing that screencap! LOL we all know Cas has a one track mind for his girl!
Congrats on the plant-based adventure! I've been doing it since 2019 and I really love living this way (except now having to go gluten free thanks to an autoimmune diagnosis, ugh that sucks but anyway). I recommend you follow The Edgy Veg on youtube, and take a look in the searchbar for crab ragoon swaps. The most fun part of vegan eating is discovering that there's always about 10 swap potentials for all your favorite recipes. It's super customizable and more diverse than typical western eating. If you need any advice please reach out, happy to help with all things herbivore. It really is such a compassionate, important way to begin living for our planet, our people, and for the sake of sweet animals everywhere <3 thank you again.
